Description (last modified by davidsarah)

As pointed out in this tahoe-dev subthread, if you only know how to reach a given file via a sequence of dirnodes from some root, then loss of any of those dirnodes will effectively make the file unavailable.

This implies that you might want to choose the encoding parameters and happiness threshold to provide greater redundancy for dirnodes.
